The benefits of a bilingual brain

Title:: The benefits of a bilingual brain
Speaker:: Mia Nacamulli
Description:: It's obvious that knowing more than one language can make certain things easier — like traveling or watching movies without subtitles. But are there other advantages to having a bilingual (or multilingual) brain? Mia Nacamulli details the three types of bilingual brains and shows how knowing more than one language keeps your brain healthy, complex and actively engaged. [Directed by TED-Ed, narrated by Pen-Pen Chen].
